---

1.  Which of these are benefits of M&RIE technology? Improved comfort in wind Improved localization of sound Reduced listening effort All of the above

2.  Research on M&RIE showed which of these benefits: 65% of users preferred M&RIE for natural sound quality Improved in vestibulo-ocular reflex Significant decrease in listening effort benefit Less localization benefit after more months of use

3.  Which of the following is true? Someone who is comfortable wearing a closed, tulip or power dome might be a good candidate for M&RIE A person with a severe to profound bilateral hearing loss is NOT a good candidate for M&RIE A person with mild hearing loss in the low frequencies, falling precipitously to a severe hearing loss above 750 Hz is NOT a good candidate for M&RIE All of the above are true

4.  Which of the following statements is true? It is NOT recommended to start a M&RIE fitting with an open dome Tulip and Open domes provide the same degree of occlusion Custom micro-molds are not available for M&RIE fittings Closed domes are not a recommended choice for M&RIE receivers

5.  Which of these statements is/are TRUE? The Maximum Stable Gain (MSG) curve provides valuable information about the potential success of a M&RIE fitting Calibration results will guide you to properly fit the M&RIE receiver Minimizing overlap between gain curves and the unstable gain area will be a key factor in fitting M&RIE successfully All of the above are true
